My restyling of the legendary Fiat 127 sees its start in 2008 , with a number of difficulties , given the formal aesthetics now " obsolete " and difficult to re-proposable "in toto" nowadays . This does not mean , however, that the success of the 127 also lies in the originality of its lines , printed by Pio Manzu , and if these lines still manage to evoke strong emotions , this is due solely to the " validity " of the project.These days I've got to admire the splendid work of restyling proposed by the talented designer David Obendorfer that has been able to revive the myth of the Fiat 127 , respecting its characteristics but also adding design solutions that blend well with the current trends.My humble proposal starts from a sketch made ​​in 2008, where I tried to start from the feelings that I harked observation of the peculiarities of 127: square muzzle , upright gait rear windows , vertical windshield , belt line , tailgate and other compliance however, the small design details that make it special.Of course, the difficulty to update a model of its kind showed up on time and so I decided that I will show you after several attempts , to shelve the project . This year, however , driven by the superlative work of Obendorfer , I was more stubborn and , taking up the project in 2008 , I jotted down a few sketches ... Starting from the assumption , perhaps wrong, I think of the 127 as a small coupe , I tried to emphasize this sporty , without neglecting its versatility, its fundamental value .
